I saw The Shawshank Redemption in dvd last Christmas 2008 in our house and I was really impressed with the story. It was very wonderful and extraordinary, Stephen King really amazed me with this plot, well this film is directed by Frank Darabont, the same film maker who directed the 2000 movie Green mile also based on the book written by Stephen King. The Shawshank Redemption primarily narrated by Red played by Morgan Freeman, it tells a story of survival, hope and dreams, it starred Tom Robbins. The drama took place at the Shawshank prison where Tim Robbins character made a tremendous reform. The highlight in which Robbins escaped from prison by digging a hole at his prison cell was spectacular and thrilling. But over all, it was a heavy drama and highly emotional film that made you think of the good convicts and not all that bad things about the prison cell.

I agree that The Shawshank Redemption was wonderfully written by Stephen King. Well, I haven't seen the movie. But I am proud to say that I've read the book. Yes, it's amazing and I was so surprised that Stephen King could write such a book knowing that he is a horror story writer. I also cried while reading the book. I'm looking forward to watching the DVD copy. Thanks!

I agree this is a fabulous movie. I saw it for the first time quiet a few years ago (not sure how old it is now) and still like to watch it every now and then. Stephen King is an excellent author and often when his books are made into movies they do not do him justice however this is certainly not the case with the Shawshank Redemption.

Yes, I agree it is a good movie. It will keep you hook from the beginning to the end. The main character was very smart and he used it to get what he wanted and helped out his friend in the process.

This is one of my favorite movie. I just love this and I've actually bought an original DVD of it. I think whoever created Prison Break was inspired by The Shawshank Redemption.

I have seen that movie a few times, and I find it inspiring. Though it does not depict prison life more strongly or closer to how it can be, I hope it gives others a chance to think about our prison system, and what we are doing to people. There are many innocent people who are sent to jail, and even more who are sent for long periods of time for non-violent reasons. Sometimes, these people are destroyed in prison and do not get the therapy they needed before they went there, just to be released in a society who does not know how to handle them and even strips them of their right to vote to alienate them furthermore.

I have also seen this movie. I think it was one of Stephen Kings best movies of all time. You sure do not know what can come next in it. And I do agree with you on the ending being fantastic. Hope really never does die. Stephen King did alot of really good movies, you should check them out.

yes, i agree with you. this is one good stephen king novel. more often than not, his novels are suspense/ horror and they are grim. but this one is different. i could say that this is one of my 2 favorites among his work. the other one is the green mile. you should also try to read and watch the movie.

I agree with you that this is a movie great. I don't have a copy of this one but I am going to download one soon. Exccellent performance in this film. Made it very believable drama and one the viewer can relate to. I am a big movie fan and I am always looking for movies to watch. If you are the same way you can read all kinds of movie reviews at caio. I read them regularly and always find movies to watch that I hadn't previously been aware of . You can even make money there like you do here.

Two sentences in the movie impressed me deeply: Fear can hold you prisoner while hope set you free! Hope is a good thing and maybe the best thing of all. And the friendship between Andy and Red touched me much!

I like Shawshank redemption too. The ending was quite unpredictable, and I really love that twist there, when he finally escaped. :) It's quite an old movie by Morgan Freeman, but it was worth every bit of my time watching it. Five popcorns for it!

I agree with everyone this is a great movie, The cast did a great job. Having to survive all that time in jail for something that you did not do. I would also recommend this movie to anyone.
